Work with the Final effect:
The Final effect is an independent processor with 32 preset and 32 user Final effect programs available. It is located at the end of the
effect routing scheme in the D12, and is used for "mastering" and dynamics applications. During mixdown you can use a Final effect
to "polish" your mix as you master your work to external DAT, MD, etc. The assigned Final effect will also be “printed” to tracks
(including Virtual tracks) during bounce recording operations. Note: Like the Master effects, the demo song includes an already
assigned Final effect.
